Tiny X-shaped stitches in faded red and antique cream form a flag, its canton filled with rows of small stars. Below it, serif lettering spells out 'Land of the Free, Home of the Brave', and a row of three stars sits between two stitched lines at the bottom.

The dark navy ground and the slightly weathered thread colours give the piece the look of a treasured heirloom sampler, with a rustic, nostalgic Americana feel.
